The Suzuki Celerio is another of Suzuki’s offerings in an already crowded and competitive subcompact hatchback segment. While it may lack the firepower its competitors obviously boast about, the car doesn’t fall behind when it comes to appearance, fuel economy, and practicality. The overall package of the Celerio makes it a worthwhile investment for the Filipino driver. One thing that Suzuki has going for it is that it understands what makes a small car work, and the Japanese car and motorcycle maker’s formula for a successful subcompact is realized in the Celerio. The Suzuki Celerio is an easy-to-operate car with a price tag that has made many budget-conscious motorists smile.

Suzuki launched the 2015 Suzuki Celerio August of that year. No word yet on if or when a 2018 Suzuki Celerio will be made available. That said, if you see a Suzuki Celerio 2018 for sale online, it is a carryover from the previous year model, so not much has changed in the way of features and design.

Suzuki Celerio Review in the Philippines

Suzuki Celerio Specs and Performance

Like the Suzuki Alto, its cousin in the subcompact market, the Suzuki Celerio’s specifications allow the owner to get around the city without having to spend much on fuel. The Suzuki Celerio hatchback has two trim levels, and one of the few differences between the two is the transmission: one is manual and the other is CVT.

The powertrain of the 2015 Suzuki Celerio is a 1.0 DOHC 12V engine that produces 67hp@6000rpm and 90Nm@3500rpm. The other components of the Celerio’s performance are standard. The rack and pinion steering comes with Electronic Power Steering. The brakes are ventilated discs (front) and leading and trailing drum (rear). The front suspension is a MacPherson strut with Coil Spring, while the rear is equipped with a Torsion Beam Suspension with Coil Spring. The wheels are 14”alloy wheels fitted to 165/65R14 tires.

Suzuki Celerio reviews by local and foreign motoring journalists noted that the Celerio hatchback is a very easy car to drive. The steering and pedals of the car are light, and it’s not difficult to see out of the car. Don’t expect the Celerio to act like a blur, because it’s not built for speed. But if you want a reliable car that won’t let you down, then this car is the perfect match for you.
